THE BENEFIT OF CLERGY"

The meaning Of the phrase "benefit
of clergy" is not perhaps very generally
understood, says a writer in the Glas-
gov Herald. The custom had its orr
gin in those days of intellectual dark
ness when the state of letters was so
low that any one found guilty in a
court of justice of crime which was
punishable with death, if he could prove
himself able to read verse in a Latin
Bible he was pardoned, as being man
of learning, and therefore likely to be
useful to the state; but if he could not
read he was sure to be hanged" with
out benefit of clergy" This privilege,
it is said, was granted to all offences,
excepting high treason and sacrilege,
till after the year 1850. at first it was
extended not only to the clergy, but to
any person who could read, who, how
ever, had to vow that he would enter
into holy orders, but with the increase
Of learning this ''benefit of clergy" was
restricted by several acts of Parliament,
and was finally abolished only so late
as the reign of George ".

VICTORIA AND HER SON.

The following extract from the Gre
vile Memoirs, dated November, 1858,
is curious:
81 hear the Queen has written let
ter to the Prince of Wales announc-
ing to him his emancipation from pa
rental authority and control, and that
it is one of the most admirable letters
that ever were penned. She tells him
that he may have thought the rule they
adopted for his education severe one,
but that his welfare was their only OBJ
ject, and well knowing to what seduc-
lions Of flattery he would eventually be
exposed, they wished to prepare and
strengthen his mind against them; that
he was now to consider himself his own
master, and that they should never in
trude any advice upon him, although al
ways ready to give it him whenever he
thought fit to seek it. 1t is avery long
letter, all in that tone, and it seems to
have made a profound impression on
the prince, and to have touched his
feelings to the quick. He brought it
to Gerald Wellesley in floods of tears,
and the effect it produced is a proof of
the wisdom which dictated its eompo-
sition."

stone to where they are loaded and con-
veyed away. Day by day, year in and
year out, the work in something of the
old sameness goes on. And yet were
it to stop, nothing could be in its end
ing, more dead than this wild mountain
ravine; but the work continually goes
on, and this gives if dignity, vivacity
and power.
Thus human beings toll on, measure,
plan, delve and execute, and supply
daily wants. 1t may be the same old
routine, but by it human life is recu-
perated and sustained with all its i'm
portant and necessary, If not mighty,
needs.
If this days experience were abso-
lutely an end; this gathering, service
and opportunity the last, what forebod-
ings there would be. Better then, yes,
far better that we term all days not
long enough in which to do what we SO
intently desired. See the evening hour
come with much that we intended to
do left undone, then to fold our hands
in selfish complacence without animat-
ing hope and purpose for the golden in
coming tomorrow.
Oh, men and women, these broken
fragments are wonderful signs of effort
in every realm Of the energy of God. I
know what we count as human perver-
sity. know how thousands speak Of
broken idols Of their hope and expecta
ton. / know humanity converses as to
the loved ones it has lost; but would
point these to the final ingathering of
heaven. Sight them as to how in the
unfinished here, God determines they
all have lived and toiled for larger and
diviner aims and ends than they sus-
pected. How in the summing, as in
tended, hopes blossom into glad fru-
ition and its joy, and in seeming fall
ures we find the hidden power of the
unchanging good In what appeared as
broken pieces of our love, the sweeter
intuition and reunion above. What we
claimed as death, the immortal messen-
ger that opened the door through which
our dear ones, and we, too, passed into
the eternal glory, and its victory, and
into the nearer and fuller love of him
whom we call God,
I cannot doubt as the years go on,
that Gods work will be done. He
gathers somewhere all as into one.
The keynote of my soul is this: nc
fragments can possibly be in my own
and all souls eternity. This Gods al
in all. For he who so commands that
"rubies come from clay, ''and 'bids dull
| charcoal into diamonds turn" will
somewhere, he knows best, blend our
minor strains of grief, of hopes defer
red, Of loves once cur own, into one I'M
ending psalm of joyous day. This the
ingathering of the immortal home and
its everlasting triumph. Then no IN
finished work forever deemed to be left
undone. Then all tears of sorrow wiped
away, all heartaches soothed. No more
death, crying or pain. None absent,
none lost eternally. For as Whittier
sings in that poem Of "Lost Souls
Cryl'' -
| .Tho,, lovest all. Thy A1ring child may he
Lost to himself. but never lost to Thee"

the opposing divisions of the latter,

sence the Mexicans in the city rose up
in arms against the conquerors, slew
most Of them and gained possession

was told in graphic and forcible Ian
guage by Professor MacLean.

PREACHING TO IMAGINARY CHARAC-
TIERS.

1t sometimes happens that the coun-
try pastor, like his city brother, fails to
adapt his sermon to his congregation.
He breaches to an imaginary group of
thinkers or to class unrepresented in
hisparish. An illustration of this misfit-
ting came under the historians notice.
An intimate friend of his, an Episcopal
clergyman, was taking his outing on
the Maine coast, and was clothed appro-
priately in a blue flannel shirt with
rough clothing to match. Burned by
the sun and altogether hardened in his
aspect, the clergyman made his way on
Sunday morning to the only place Of
worship in the region, and sat under
the ministrations Of good Methodist
brother. The few faithful men and
women who made up the congregation
were all in their places, and their de-
v0utness was marked. Imagine, then,
the wonder Of the clerical nearer when
the pastor announced his subject as an
attempt to prove the existence of God.
Arguments of unbelievers, which these
supplemented people had never heard,
were stated and answered. Finally, as
the preacher waxed warm in his argu-
ment, he suddenly turned and pointed
to the blue-shirted Episcopal minister,
and cried out: eff there is an atheist
present, beg him to heed tnis demon
stration of the existence of God" The
lawful example" blushed deeply, Of
course, as the congregation closely eyed
him.-B0ston Record.

The mystery of Caspar Hansen is
again told and exploded in late number
of the Revue deS Deu1 Monde. Caspar
Hansen; who has almost disappeared
from the memory Of man, was believed
only fifty years ago by many people to be
the legitimate Grand Duke of Baden, and
was supported in that role by Louis l., of
Bavaria. Hansen was common impos-
ter who claimed that he had been i'm
INJURED in an underground cell since his
birth, He found many believers and some
wiseacres connected his evident false
hood with the history of the grand ducal
house of Baden. But he was never ac-
knowledged by his so-called mother nor
by her children. His dupes chung to
their belief through fear of ridicule.

of those who seek to learn the method of
work pursued by her, but she has lately
vouchsafed the information at her winter
home in Charles street, that her daily
work with her pen averages from four to
five hours, in which time she generally
turns out $500 words. She does all her
work in the afternoon, between luncheon
and dinner, and finds it hard to resist the
temptation to write at night. Miss jew
EFT loves outdoor exercise, and her favor
tie recreation is horseback riding, which
she recommends to her sex generally as
most healthful and refreshing exercise.
II that luxury cannot be INDUCED in, a
brisk walk is her next best recipe for

not be wanting in its influence on COM

better for his having lived and laughed.

According to writer in the Mil
waukes Sentinel, Col. W. L. Utley, who
recently died at Racine, Wis, was "the
owner of the last slave on American SOIL"
When he was in Tennessee, with his
regiment, eolored boy escaped from
his master and sought refuge in the Col
onel's tent. The owner came into camp
next day and demanded the surrender of
his property, but Colonel Utley refused
to give up the boy. Afterward the slave-
owner secured Judgment against Colo
mel Utley for the value of the property"
which he paid, and was Unidentified by
Congress for his loss.

The late Philip Bourke Marston-
who died in his London chambers few
weeks ago, blind, desolate, broken heart
ed man-began life with the brightest
omens. He was born into literary at
mosphere-the latest scion of family in
which verse making had been hereditary
ever since Queen Bess' day. His father
loved letters and cultivated them. Dinah
Muloeh was his godmother and addressed
to him in his cradle one of her best known
poems the ':Philip, my King" AS
boy he tumbled about in library, and
listened to the talk of Robert Browning,
Charles Dickens, Algernon Swinburne,
Bailey ('Festus" Bailey and Mrs. Lynn

Truth says that Anthony Trollope
who was forty years old when his first
successful novel was published, made by
his pen in the next twenty-seven years at
least 10000. "The strangest thing"
adds our London contemporary, sis that
Trollope as novelist is now as dead as
Richardson, for nobody either buys or
reads his books" This last assertion
certainly needs qualifying as far rs the
great American novel buying and novel;
reading public is concerned.

A friend writes to Labouchere
from Berlin: 81 have just seen the old
Emperor. He looks when he walks, as if
he did not feel the ground under him
but Is otherwise the picture Of health.
The fresh face, with the snowy hair and
whiskers, is like the Alps in the sunset,
in which rose color is set round with daz-
cling white. Bismarck is frightened at
the uncertainty of his step, which is
warning Of paralysis. Hence his anxiety
to secure a docile Reichstag, which will
not play too much into the hand of the
coming Empress Victoria against the
Chancellor"

This strange and touching episode
in the life of Phillip Marston Bourke, is
recalled. Blind from boyhood, when he
was still young man he became engag-
ed to beautiful young lady, and the
time of their wedding was near at hand.
They were together in the parlor one
day. Suddenly he noticed that she no
longer spoke to him. He called her, but
there wes no reply. He CROPPED about
the room in search Of her, found her on
the sofa, and put his hand upon her face,
only to find that she was dead.
